A Mississippi beer bill backed by local organization, Raise Your Pints, Anheuser-Busch and other groups made big progress in the state today being passed by the House of Representatives’ Tourism Committee. The bill would raise the alcohol by weight (ABW) to 8% (~10% ABV). The bill now moves onto the Senate. If you want to keep track of progress, stay tuned to the Raise Your Pints Twitter feed.
